THE BASEBALL LEAGUE

It was decided at the annual meeting in Manchester last night to increase both the first and second divisions from 16 to 18 clubs for the 1898 season. Wolverhampton Wanderers and Grimsby Town were elected to the first division, and these were the clubs which had been unsuccessful in the test match series following the 1897 season. In future there will be no test match series, but the two highest clubs in the second division will displace the two lowest in the first division.
